Three men stabbed at City Heights party

Three men were stabbed at a birthday party in City Heights Saturday night.

Several people were at a family party at a home on Fairmount Avenue near Dwight Street about 10:55 p.m., San Diego police said.

One of the victims smeared cake on his girlfriend’s face, police said. They thought that was funny but the woman’s brother became enraged. He took out a knife and stabbed the boyfriend and the two others, police said.

One suffered a wound to his abdomen, one was stabbed in the back and hand and the third was stabbed twice in the back, police said. All three were taken to a hospital for treatment.

The attacker fled before police arrived. A San Diego police watch commander said Sunday he did not know if the man had yet been captured.
